I’d rather not ever be right. If I am that means I learned nothing, making it a waste of time.

  If you've never been right about anything, you might need to reconsider your approach to learning. I think you're doing it wrong.

    Perhaps you missed the communication subtext? Once I'm certain I'm right I'm not going to talk it about it ever again. What would be the point? There's nothing left to learn. I'll have moved on to new topics where I don't yet know what is right – where I'm hopefully wrong so there is something to learn.

      How would you go to right but unsure to right but sure without learning anything? I don't think that being right prevents you from learning, at least you had to learn something about other arguments so you could reject those.

        By being right, sometimes. But I'd rather not be.

  If all you ever do is be wrong, I will promptly fire you.

    An action (do) is never right or wrong, it just is. A recount of an action may be wrong. e.g. "He did X" when in actuality he did Y.
